The Video Game Library Newsletter - Vol. #016 Another INSANE news week in the world of Video Game books! Plus a browse through The Dunwall Archives, a quick lesson in your ABCs, and a great interview with Horacio Corral of Critical Hit Books.

From one of my favourite authors, @davidlcraddock.bsky.social, he’s just announced that Better Together: Stories of EverQuest, originally posted on ShackNews, it is now a full-fledged book!

Very excited to check this one out! #EverQuest has been getting so much love lately ❤️

You can't just arbitrarily add 5 hours to our already-exhausting marathon!

Have you ever noticed? (I sure didn't, until Peek-a-brews pointed it out). #ReusingAmazingAssets #nesdev

First time programming the same game in two different languages at the same time. Gonna have to do some sprite overlay on the dialog portraits on the NES version haha. #nesdev #godot #BttP2

Wow, that website is horribly confusing to navigate. Congrats on your incredible release though. If I can figure out what I'm looking at I will order one. :)

Nice job. Couldn't tell if the background of the G is wonky or not, but I was glad I was able to see it.

Started planning out my dungeon crawler NES homebrew yesterday.

Congrats! Scrolling is the hardest damn thing to do on the system in my opinion. I've only had the courage to do one direction so far. Gonna stay in my lane for as long as I can. :)

Anyone else a little too excited about their calculator? Any time I get a reason to pull out the ol' TI-85 or have a reason to program a new formula into it I get so excited.

Finding some of my old game design notes while visiting my mom’s, circa ‘94 if I had to guess. There’s a reason @kevinhanley.khangames.com’s Study Hall instantly appealed to me. Stat pages followed, so it was some sort of RPG.

Weird to see the location of this story randomly be my town haha. Are you from here?

This is incredible and "just works." Thank you!

An honor to be nominated alongside you. Wish I could be there. Good luck!

Hey, fart-uitous. Never forget which days you work.

Damn ghosts. #OnyxtheFortuitous #nesdev

I made the music for this game.

That is the dream haha.

We've put a ton of work into it since then. Hoping you notice the improvements when you play the final version!

The only super bowl I care about is that super bowl of ramen I'll be having in a few minutes 🍜
